Because of low solubility and high permeability Itraconazole suffer from poor aqueous solubility which results in poor dissolution rate in the GI tract and may compromise oral bioavailability. Positioning Rationale Enhancement of dissolution rate of Itraconazole after oral administration was one of the most challenging aspects in pellet formulation. Because of low solubility and high permeability Itraconazole suffer from poor aqueous solubility which results in poor dissolution rate in the GI tract and may compromise oral bioavailability. Few strains of dermatophytes are resistant to generic Itraconazole due to insufficient bioavailability because of poorly soluble and highly variability Few clinical cases of aspergillosis are reported globally were replacement Sporanox with generic itraconazole resulted in treatment failure due to inadequate plasma levels of Itraconazole and even development of resistance BRINTRA reduces intra-and inter-patient variability and enables more predictable clinical response.
